Tuitt has appeared in all 16 games just once in his six-year career — his rookie season; even then, he wasn’t yet a full-time starter. Since year two, the lineman has missed 20 games due to injury. With 22 tackles (six for loss), 3.5 sacks and seven quarterback hits, Tuitt was on track for a career season in 2019 when a torn pectoral landed him on injured reserve. The Steelers felt confident letting Javon Hargrave walk because they trust in Tuitt to pick right back up from where he left off.
